7 goals in 33 appearances (0.21 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.33 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Final-third output. 0.41 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.15 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.41 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 54.1, Uenaka carries the 2nd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League (top 4%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Yokohama F. Marinos finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.41 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
